    Summary

    It's something out of an old tale: a golden young man in a white bearskin, striking strange bargains with desperate souls on the cruelest night of winter.

    Peeta Mellark, winner of the 74th Hunger Games, returns from his Victory Tour to make the starving Everdeens an offer they can't refuse. Canon divergent, based on the fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon."

    Summary

    "Convince me," Snow said. One night on the Victory Tour makes that all too easy, because what what better way than a baby?

She is left with one choice before heading into the arena, abort the baby or risk delivering in the games. At the same time as the games, the rebels are plotting behind Katniss's back and Snow isn't convinced of her love. Everyone believes this baby is Peeta's, however Snow wonders if the actual father is the boy back home, Gale. If she can survive these games, what will it mean? Can Katniss actually convince him? With a war on the horizon, how can she protect everyone she loves?

    Summary

    Just as Effie Trinket’s hand reached for the slips, a slight gust of wind stirred the air, and a spirit tinkled a wind chime—its ringing whispering a different fate into the breeze.

    In District 12, the Games never came for Katniss Everdeen.
    As the Capitol tightens its grip and rebellion begins to stir, Katniss is left to reckon with who she is, what she believes in—and whether love is something she can afford in a world where survival is never promised.

    (AU — Never Reaped. This would have happened anyway.)

    Summary

    A world where Katniss goes into the Hunger Games with Peeta’s brother and she comes home alone. She struggles to cope with her memories of the games, and to keep up her end of the bargain with Rye- to take care of each other’s families if the other went home.

    Walking by the bakery every night, she was bound to run into Peeta eventually. But the Capitol is always listening, and they can't punish who she loves if they don't know who it is, right?

    Katniss struggles to keep her distance from Peeta to avoid the Capitol’s awareness while she gets more and more attached to the boy with the bread.

    Summary

    If the star crossed lovers from district 12 never went into the games, if they were never pitted against each other, doomed to fight and kill each other, if their stars weren’t crossed at all, what would have happened anyway?

    Keeping Katniss's family fed without tesserae is not easy and Peeta's parents are pushing him to marry a merchant girl as soon as possible. The best way to escape starvation and a prison of a marriage is to marry each other, but that would require Katniss to let go of a promise she made to herself a long time ago, to never marry anyone.

    Summary

    "This would have happened anyway."

    In a particularly harsh winter in 12, Katniss is once again finding that she is tied to Peeta Mellark, that he can bring her a sense of hope without even meaning to. When she winds up working in his family's bakery, she doesn't want to get to know him, doesn't want to add to the incalculable debt she feels she owes him. But she can't help but grow to appreciate him, even despite herself.

    "All I've ever known is how to hold my own, but now I wanna hold you too" - Hadestown

    In Panem AU focusing on how Katniss and Peeta would have found their way to each other if they never went into the Games. Slowburn, but eventually will have a lot of smut lol so preventative E rating

    Summary

    In 1978 the United States cracked down on organized crime, using all types of informants to gather intel and make their arrests.

    Katniss Everdeen had one job: find out information about the powerful and dangerous Mellark Family and pass it along to the police. Her orders were simple.

    It was Peeta Mellark that made everything so complicated.

    Summary

    Young widow Katniss Hawthorne could take care of herself and she had no problem letting everyone know. She’d been running her farm, raised a sister, her daughter and kept her handyman from dying of alcohol poisoning in the five years since Gale had died. But when a series of ‘accidents’ that had been happening over the years turns sinister, Katniss finds baker boy Peeta Mellark stationed in her house. Older, stronger and oh so much more tempting, Katniss is going to have a tough time keeping her hands off, even as danger lurks in the dark.

    Summary

    "He faces forward,
    Trading in his blindness for the glow of love,
    And time is raging, may it rage in vain,
    And you always had it, but you never knew,
    So boots and saddles, get on your feet,
    There's no surrender, 'cause there's no retreat,
    The bells are sobbing, in this monster land,
    We are the descendants of giant men."
    -The Killers

    Peeta Mellark is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Katniss Everdeen has spent the better part of the last 14 years obsessing over a hero that may not exist. When the pair find themselves investigating a sinister story, they have no idea that it could threaten the very fabric of their city...unless they are both willing to play the role of hero.
